Hey loyal followers and new readers, Soldier-MS here. This is a little story I'm doing to pass the time and set things up for the future. I first did this because I couldnt update my stories, the error messages kept showing up, but now things are back to normal and I'm able to update. I'm just waiting for my editor/beta to finish looking over the next chapter for Destiny or Liberty. Anyway this was an idea for fun after I watched episodes of the First Season, my imagination span and I thought "I could put that in my fic" Lol. Anyway I've done my best to incorporate Celestial Being into the Cosmic Era, so sit back and enjoy the read!
Gundam 00 Sensou: The Ideal of Gundam
Chapter 1: A repeated cycle
Humanity had existed for centuries. And in those centuries countless wars had been waged. The cycle seemed endless, no one learnt from the wars. Alls that changed was the way those wars were conducted. Humanity moved into space, and as science developed, new ideas led to hatred. With the existence of Coordinators and the formation of the Plant nations came a new breed of hate. New labels, those whom were "Natural" and the genetically modified Coordinators had further divided humanity. Though the nations of Earth were slowly joining into an Alliance, many countries remained undeveloped. These areas were still consumed in the conflicts of religion.
While the governments of the Earth Alliance and ZAFT were on the brink of war, countries such as the Republic of Krugis were still facing civil war. In the Thirty-Fourth day of the conflict, fighting within the city had devastated much of Krugis. On the borders of the country, factions still exchanged fire. This wasn't a conflict of politics, but of religion. Young boys had been brainwashed into serving "gods will". But in actuality, the boys had killed their families simply to appease the blood lust of a madman. The words that had once been spoken to him echoed through Soran's mind.
He ran through the trenches, terror gripping at his heart. This is what his faith had given him. Dead friends and the blood of his parent's on his hands. He leant against the wall of a wrecked desert hut. His hands scrambled against his rifle, checking the magazine for bullets. Incoming gunfire warned him of enemies coming his way. Soran ran, firing his gun at his pursuers. As he ran, he listened to the words spoken to him once before. They were useless to him now.
'There is no god,' He thought.
The ground shook as Soran dived for cover. He hid, hugging his rifle as the enemies fired on his position.
'In this world, there is no god!'
The ground continued to shake as a tank rolled across the streets. Soran heard the clicking sound the tank would make when it altered the direction of its turret. He held his rifle tightly, never praying as he rushed out cover. The next thing he saw wasn't a bullet but a light. A pink beam of light flew out of the sky, cutting the tank in half. Soran looked up and widened his eyes in awe. Flying in the sky was the most magnificent sight he had ever seen. A truly inspiring sight, they flew like angels, no gods themselves. Soran Ibrahim now longer believed in god, he believed in something greater.
Two machines based on the model of a human, they were the future of warfare. Though they both bared the same name, only one of them could truly be called Gundam, even if it was incomplete. The First Gundam flew at its opponent, firing its beam rifle. It's brother unit, the O Gundam blocked the shots with its shield, and then fired its GN pistol. Both machines hadn't been painted; the First had a thicker body and a completely different power source. The O Gundam however had a GN Drive, a revolutionary power source that generated greenish particles. These particles shaped into a trail similar to wings as the O flew at the First. The First held out its shield, blocking the O's beam sabre. Both machines bore identical head designs, they seemed to stare at one another as they locked weapons.
The O Gundam dragged its beam sabre across the First's shield, cutting the shield down the middle. Throwing its incomplete shield aside, the First Gundam drew its beam sabre. Its generator was weak, so in turn the beam blade was a weak blade. But still the Gundam fought on, slamming its sabre against the O's. The sparks flew across the desert and both Gundam's engaged their thrusters. They took flight, moving past the clouds and beyond Krugis.
Earth Alliance officials closed the file on the event. Witnesses were silenced and Krugis was left to burn. The First G-Weapon project continued and even the First Gundam's pilot was told to forget the things he saw that day. But he still asked the questions everyone else was afraid to ask.
"Someone stole the idea of Gundam, and they managed to create a machine faster than we could, even though the RX is the first idea composed, it isn't the first to be rolled out for combat is it?" Jack asked.
His father simply ignored him and returned to work on the First's new generator. Jack pulled his father away from his work, gripping the collar of his lab coat.
"That thing intervened in the conflict in Krugis, preventing it from escalating into other nearby countries. If it intervened once it'll do it again, the question we should be asking is how long do we have to prepare?"
"Son, enough leave it to the Earth Alliance to worry about. While it's true this new being is of concern, these interventions may just be what the world needs. The eradication of war through force, perhaps the only way to beat war is with war." Jack's father explained.
Jack narrowed his eyes before punching his father across the face. The older man looked at his son in shock, the young man's hands trembled slightly.
"You know Albert Einstein is my idol, he didn't just know physics, he knew people as well. There is a quote that I've come to value above all the others "Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding"…I agree with him whole heartedly father!"
Years passed and the First Gundam project was forgotten. But the ideal of Gundam was carried on not just by Admiral Halberton, but also by an organisation known as Celestial Being. Its goal: The eradication of war through force! Five years after the Krugis rebellion, war continues and the promotion of war still exists. The time to begin the plan was now, in the midst of a real war.
"FIRE!" The Earth Alliance naval officer yelled.
Shells slammed into the beached ZAFT forces. The Earth Alliance Seventh Naval fleet engaged the Hawke Team of ZAFT. Commander William Hawke flew his DINN across the air, shooting down Earth Alliance Spearhead jets. The green eyed, black haired commander huffed at the Earth Alliance force. Sure they had the superior numbers, but ZAFT outweighed them with mobile suit technology. While the Alliance had a formidable submarine fleet, they were useless against the ZAFT Goohn's, the pride of the underwater forces. The Goohn's fired their torpedoes, easily destroying the submarines. One of the Goohn's emerged from the water and fired the energy cannon on its head, destroying an Earth alliance ship.
"KEEP FIRING! DESTROY THE ZAFT FORCES!" The EA captain yelled like a madman, consumed with hatred for the Coordinators.
A GINN fired its rifle at the naval ship, but a flurry of missiles flew into its side. Three artillery trucks rolled across the rocky surface of the beach, firing their missiles into the GINN. But the GINN stumbled forward, falling right on top of the trucks. One of the GINN's, which was a brighter green than the others fired its machine gun, destroying Linear tanks and Artillery trucks left and right. Its pilot left out an amused laugh as he squashed one more truck.
"That's right, run away bitches, the names Patrick Colasour, I've never lost a mock battle!" The red haired pilot cheered for himself.
"Colasour, shut up!" Hawke muttered.
"How long do they intend to keep fighting Commander?" Patrick asked.
"Until every last one of us is destroyed, we'll have to return the favour!"
"What do you mean sir?"
"You didn't hear this from me Colasour, but Zala is beginning that could very well tip the balance of this war."
Hawke smiled as Colasour bombarded him with questions. If only he could tell his soldiers of Zala's future for both the Earth and the naturals. In a few months time, Earth would be a distant memory and the coordinators would become the dominant species they were meant to be.
'For the sake of a better world, all of the naturals must die,' Hawke thought privately.
He looked at his radar in confusion and tapped the machine. His radar wasn't working and it wasn't just N-Jammer interference this time.
"All units be careful, the naturals must be pulling something!" Hawke said.
"Sir, incoming machine…it's not a GINN sir!"
Hawke turned his DINN around, focusing his camera on the incoming silhouette. He had seen the reports about the Heliopolis raid and the battles with the legged ship. But this machine was definitely a different model of G-Weapon. Its armour was a blue and white colour, but unlike the Strike its general structure was smoother. The G-Weapon was also shorter than the Strike and its head design was completely different, but it still had the general face and V-Fin horn of a G-Weapon. Hawke noticed that the unit was equipped with some kind of sword. Upon closer inspection, Hawke saw the words "Exia" written on the V-Fin.
"Targets identified, beginning first phase of interventions," The Pilot wore a blue flight suit with a purple visor covering his head. His voice lacked emotion and his eyes seemed almost empty. "Exia, Setsuna F Seiei, eliminating targets!"
The Exia slid out its GN Sword and increased speed. Hawke spotted the Exia's power source, a strange furnace on its back that generated yellow particles. Setsuna targeted the nearest machines, two DINN's. With incredible speed and accuracy, he sliced off the mobile suit's wings and gun arms with single swings of his sword. The pilots ejected, looking at the Exia in shock.
"Sir, what's going on?" An Earth alliance soldier asked his captain.
"Are they friendly, someone get General Revil on the horn!"
"I'm sorry sir, but long range communication has been cut."
"That machine's approaching us!" One of the soldiers panicked.
Setsuna landed on the Earth Alliance navy ship, cutting off its linear cannons. Then he dragged his sword across the side, knocking off its racks of ammo, missiles and machine guns. He flew off of the ship, leaving its crew to abandon ship as he disarmed another DINN.
"All Goohn's, engage that G-Weapon, hit him from below," Hawke ordered.
But his only reply was a series of yells and screams. Goohn's were being attacked underwater, but they could do nothing to fight back. Torpedoes slammed into their arms and sides, forcing the pilots to dangerously abandon their mobile suits from underwater. Far away from the battle, a green Gundam similar to the Exia held a launcher of some kind, firing torpedoes into the water. Its V-Fin was covering its eyes and the pilot inside was looking down a scope device. He wore a green flight suit, his helmet resting beside him.
"Targets locked on, Lockon!" The orange Haro sitting on its perch flapped its wings as the pilot fired more torpedoes.
He slid the scope back and disengaged the torpedo launcher. The Gundam pulled a sniper rifle off of its shoulder and the brown haired pilot looked back down his scope.
"Exia seems to be having fun Haro, here we go, Dynames, Lockon Stratos sniping the targets!" The young man said.
"Sniping the targets! Sniping the targets!" The Haro chirped.
The Dynames fired its GN rifle, hitting the wings and engines of the jets and vertical landing aircraft the Earth Alliance used. Lockon fired shot after shot, hitting each machine one by one. Exia landed on the nearby island, strafing to the right to dodge machine gun and ion cannon fire. Setsuna beheaded a GINN, and then cut another GINN's arms off. He avoided the cockpits, purely disarming his targets.
"Who do you people think you are?" Patrick growled.
Patrick drew his sword, running straight towards the Exia.
"I'm an ace asshole, an un defeated ace, you hear me?"
Setsuna swung his blade, cutting off the GINN's hand.
"I'm! Special!" Patrick said, even as the Exia cut his arms and legs off.
The ZAFT pilots resisted the urge to laugh at Patrick's humiliating defeat as they engaged the Exia at close range. Setsuna slashed off their sword arms and jumped into the air. He span the Exia around, beheading two more machines, when he landed he then swung around and cut off their legs. Hawke looked at the scene in anger before diving his DINN downwards.
"Damn monsters, your mobile suits aren't superior yet!" Hawke said as he fired his shotgun and machine gun.
The Exia crossed its arms together, blocking the bullets that flew towards it. Lockon targeted the DINN, firing a shot that took out its machine gun arm. But Hawke didn't give up there. He yelled as he aimed his shotgun at the Exia. Setsuna swung his sword, horizontally cutting the DINN's head and arm off. The DINN crashed into the ground, right in front of the Exia.
"Damn you, who the hell are you anyway?" Hawke wondered.
The Exia and the Dynames flew into the air, abandoning what was left of the ZAFT and EA forces. Lockon leant back in his seat, leaving piloting to his Haro.
"Phase one, get their attention, I wonder how Tieria and Allelujah are doing," Lockon said.
Setsuna ignored the statement, remaining alert in case they were given new orders. Lockon sighed; his partner was a stick in the mud.
At the same time, a separate intervention was carried out. ZAFT engineers were overseeing the transport of new experimental weaponry that utilised energy based ammo. Their escort was Five DINN's. The truck driver slapped a fly off of his neck; he just had to go to a hot country for the transport. ZAFT territory in the Amazon was small, but they still had enough to be on at least even grounds with the EA.
"Can you believe this shit? Two thousand dollars to keep out mouths shut, when we don't even know what we're delivering!" The extra driver said, planting his feet on the dashboard.
"Word on the base is that the Defence Committee Chairman Zala is using this for some weapons project, no complaint to me if it ends the war," The older man said.
"Shit, I wish we got paid more, I mean if this things so precious we should get extra hazard pay. Christ two thousand fucking dollars, the grunts are getting paid more than us."
The young driver switched on his portable TV, sitting back to watch the shows. His senior shook his head, why the hell would they need hazard pay when nothing was happening? The young man cursed as static spread across the TV screen. He hit the device against the dashboard, trying to get it back on. The I-pod on the dashboard also began to crackle.
"What the hells going on?" The driver wondered.
"Sir, we've got an object on the road ahead," One of the DINN pilots said.
The commander of the DINN squadron raised his eyebrows before zooming in on the object. He widened his eyes, looking upon an obvious enemy. Its armour was incredibly thick and bulky; generators of some kind were attached to its legs and arms. A furnace on the back of the machine generated yellow particles, the same kind that the other generators gave off. The massive machine folded out a pair of three barrelled cannons on its shoulders, targeting the DINNs.
"ALL UNITS EVADE!" The commander yelled.
Suddenly, the mobile suit fired its cannons, consuming the DINNs in a pink blast.
"Oh my god!" The driver gasped.
The bulky Gundam raised its GN bazooka, opening the barrel and spinning the turbine that released the GN particles. Its pilot wore a purple flight suit, with a yellow visor covering his features. His eyes gave off a yellow glow as he targeted the truck.
"Virtue, Tieria Erde, destroying target!"
The drivers yelled as the Virtue released a massive wave of pink energy. Tieria showed no mercy, destroying every inch of the truck and its cargo. He lowered his GN Bazooka and flew the Virtue upwards. The mission was complete; it was time to go back to the meeting point.
ZAFT wasn't the only force making weapons advancements. The Earth Alliance had to keep up with ZAFT technology, so they were trying to convert captured GINNs into units that Naturals would be able to pilot. Part of this involved making an OS for naturals, something a factory in Iceland worked tirelessly to accomplish. Around midnight, workers abandoned the factory, leaving the GINNs inside the warehouses. A simple mission that would avoid bloodshed.
"Sorry Hallelujah, your not needed in this mission. I hope you'll never be needed!" The brown haired pilot muttered as he flew his machine over the military base.
He wore an orange flight suit; his purple visor slid up to expose his face. His brown hair obscured his right eye, while his left grey eye stared at his reflection. In his reflection he didn't see a gentle expression. He saw staring back at him a young man identical to himself, but his hair covered his left eye, exposing a gold right eye. The reflections expression was also one of menacing blood lust.
"Sooner or later Allelujah you're going to need my help, it's just a matter of time!" The reflection said.
Allelujah narrowed his eyes before pulling the trigger. His jet opened its tail unit, firing vertical missiles that bombarded the EA warehouse. Allelujah leant back into his seat, taking deep breaths to calm himself. The fires spread throughout the EA facility, destroying the GINNs and the data that had been compiled. Emergency crews worked to put out the fires and search for anything that could be salvaged. But the GN missiles had done their job well; Kyrio's first mission was a success.
Reports on all three interventions were given to the top people of the Earth Alliance and ZAFT. Council chairman Siegel Clyne and Defence Committee chairman Patrick Zala had given up their arguments over Coordinator cloning programs and military operations in order to discuss these recent interventions. Likewise on Earth, the president had left the response over the interventions to one of his advisors Djibril.
"Beam weaponry, anti-mobile suit swords, a system that interferes with electronics and a propulsion system that doesn't need wings. The influence of the Heliopolis machines is subtle, but these machines seem to be of a completely different design." Clyne explained, looking at a blurred picture of the Exia.
"Commander Hawke's team all survived along with those Earth Alliance marines. Apparently they all left one another alone after seeing a force decimate them, that and they had no more weapons to fight each other with." Zala said, sipping from his drink canister.
"Unbelievable, an armed intervention that stopped the fighting, I wonder what their intentions are!"
Djibril sat in his private bunker, stroking his cat whilst looking at the blurred out images of the Exia and the reports handed in by the Alliance survivors. The man focused specifically on the Gundam's drive, a furnace on its back. He wasn't forming plans to overcome such a machine, but plans to capture it.
"Interesting machines, I wonder what your next move will be, G-Weapons!" Djibril whispered, smiling as he raised his wine glass.
War had consumed the planet, now was the time for Celestial Being to begin its plan. The eradication of war through force, the prevention of future battles through military interventions. They would intervene during battles and commit raids on weapon companies and military warehouses. Ocher GINNS fired at Earth Alliance tanks and marine teams, decimating the military forces. These GINNs didn't belong to ZAFT but to a terrorist cell in the local regions of Iran. When the fight became bloody, the Gundams intervened.
"Destroying the targets!" Setsuna said.
Exia landed in the sands between the Earth Alliance forces and the terrorists. Setsuna flew at the Ocher GINN's, easily cutting them apart with his GN Sword. He dodged a volley of missiles, flipping his Gundam in midair. The Exia folded back its sword, gripping its beam pistol and firing several shots into the Earth Alliance tanks. Setsuna then turned around, shooting two GINN's in the head. He drew a beam sabre as an Ocher GINN rushed towards him. The GINN swung its axe down, but the Exia split the axe apart with its sabre. Then Setsuna cut off the GINN's arm and kicked out its legs. The GINN slammed into the ground, the numerous screens inside the cockpit cracking.
"Intervention successful, moving onto next target!"
"No problem Setsuna, I've got them in my sights, Lockon Stratos sniping the targets," Lockon said as he fired several shots from his beam rifle.
He hit the ammo warehouses of the local militia, blowing them up along with any unoccupied mobile suit he could find. Lockon had no qualms with killing terrorists; unlike the previous mission casualties were a definite. Dynames continued to fire shot after shot from its rifle, only needing one bema to hit each target. Explosions rocked the mountain region that the terrorists made their homes in.
Kyrios and Virtue meanwhile hit their targets together. Virtue landed in the middle of an Earth Alliance base, one that was building mobile suits. Tieria coldly targeted a whole line of warehouses. He lifted his GN Bazooka, firing a single blast that took out four warehouses. Earth Alliance soldiers ran towards the artillery trucks and machine gun stations. But a volley of pink beams took out the trucks before the soldiers could get close. The soldiers looked up, widening their eyes to see the Kyrios Gundam. It had changed out of its jet form and fired its submachine gun, destroying aircraft and jets before the pilots could sortie.
Muruta Azrael threw the report he had been given against the wall. The four Extended machines were supposed to be finished quickly. But this Celestial Being had interfered, preventing the building of the Calamity, the Raider and the Forbidden's back units. Djibril was interested in getting his hands on those strange generators, but what Azrael wanted was for those machines to be gone.
"Miss Williams," Muruta said.
"What is it sir?" His assistant asked.
"Call my good friend Gary would you? He and I have some business to discuss," Azrael smirked as he sat back at his desk.
General Revil was a forty-year veteran, and all his years of combat he had never seen such devastation as the devastation caused by a series of attacks carried out by what locals described as "Three demons". According to his spy in ZAFT, a team of young mobile suit pilots was tracking the trail left by this "trinity". But the trinity had attacked Earth Alliance regions as well, specifically desert villages that allegedly supported terrorist cells. Revil sighed as he watched his troops care for the injured and dying.
"Sir, our tech guys have been reading the area, their scans have apparently found traces of a energy produced by a Pseudo GN drive," An officer whispered to Revil.
The general widened his eyes, gripping the officer's jacket.
"Share this information with no one, and get the solar furnace project director on the line, I want to know what the hell is going on." Revil's tone was fierce and he had every right to be angry.
Survivors and a minimal wounded had been left by the other Gundams, but this Trinity was devastating and apparently the three pilots had come from the Alliance labs. Revil had heard rumours of he inhumane experiments carried out in order to create soldiers on par with coordinators. But until he had sufficient evidence he was never willing to confront his superiors about any of the less than moral acts that the Alliance had been rumoured to commit. General Revil returned to the nearby command centre and looked over an email sent to him by an old friend.
"Name and goal, that's all I can give you, make sure the public doesn't find out, no need for a panic to spread."
YK
PS, Wife says Hi, hope you make it to our kid's funeral
Revil shook his head; his friend thought he was clever and subtle. But the man had a way of taking risks, putting your initials on the message was bad enough but inviting you to your children's funeral was ridiculous. Then again Revil could take risks himself. He began to type in radio codes given to him by Admiral Halberton. There was a group of people whom would be very interested in this Celestial Being.
In space, no one could hear you hum. Unfortunately in the controlled environment of a shuttle everyone would hear you hum. A man with silver hair and an empty left eye squeezed his hands into fists. The man sitting next to him was humming to himself, tapping his pen against his notepad. Finally the silver haired man had enough.
"FOR GODS SAKE YAMATO WOULD YOU STOP WITH THE ACT!" Sakon Date yelled.
Yamato looked at the one eyed mercenary in confusion while the pilot of the shuttle ignored the confrontation. The pilot was a red haired man, wearing a red Orb flight suit. Sakon got off his seat and looked Yamato in the eyes.
"You've been humming Japanese songs since you left Halberton's fleet. I like Daybreaks bell and Invoke as much as…actually I pretty much hate them, but the point still stands, why are you humming when you should be crying?" Sakon asked.
"I can save them you know, cloning can bring my children back," Yamato said, his happy smile fading. "Actually, I don't truly believe that, what I do believe is that my children are waiting for me, I'll tell them about all the Anime and the music they missed!"
Sakon sighed and floated to the co-pilot chair. Yamato had his own way of coping with grief. Sakon knew that he'd probably gotten too used to Casvall's silence. Casvall nodded to Sakon, whom immediately got to work.
"We've got an incoming transport Mr Kuzunagi, we're out of range of ZAFT and EA communications. The horns all yours if you'd like to use it," Sakon explained.
But Yamato was already out of the room, on his way to the bathroom for a fresh set of tissues. Casvall gave an annoyed look to Sakon, the man had to remind Yamato of his daughter and son's recent deaths. Casvall took the phone and tossed it to Sakon, accepting the long-range hail.
"Um hello…quit giving me that look Casvall I didn't mean it, sorry this is shuttle 06Delta, we're here to meet to discuss your plans for the future," Sakon said.
No response came, but Sakon knew they were out there. Casvall suspected they were but Sakon himself knew.
"Listen, we're not in the mood for a fight and if you've got more mobile suits in that thing while I'm pretty sure Casvall would survive I'll get owned…yes I know Casvall flattery will get me no where, stop glaring damn it! Our boss wants to discuss your next move with you, he gives his word that he wont say any thing about you to anyone. We know you have a contact on Earth, she put us on the path, and right now we just want answers about your organisation… all right we know who intercepted the messages you sent to the media companies, we know why the whole world doesn't know Celestial Being exists and that this goes against your original plan. Talk to us and we can help you form a new plan!"
Sakon waited, and waited for the response. A moment passed before a screen appeared. It showed the interior of a ship bridge, beige painted walls and consoles set up throughout the bridge. Two girls were working on navigations and communication respectively, one had pink hair and the other had brown hair. A young black haired man sat at the piloting seat, while a younger boy sat as the co-pilot and gunner. Sakon's eyes widened, not out of shock but amazement. A woman stood in the centre, her arms crossed over her chest. She had brown hair that reached to her waist.
"This is the Ptolemaios, I am Sumeragi Lee Noriega, identify yourselves or we will launch our mobile suits!" The woman declared her no nonsense intentions quite clearly.
Casvall narrowed his eyes as the woman, who stared right back. Akushi had given them Intel about the Four Gundams Virtue, Exia, Dynames and Kyrios, but could there be more. Or was this "Sumeragi" simply bluffing as part of a scare tactic. Casvall remained on the alert, unclipping his seatbelt in case he needed to rush for his HMT GINN. Sakon however did what was typical of him, he dog whistled.
"Wow, the Captains are getting hotter huh Casvall!" Sakon said.
That earned him a look from both Casvall and Sumeragi. Casvall looked to Sumeragi and nodded his head before slapping Sakon round the back of the head.
"Thank you, now please tell us what you want," Sumeragi said.
"Miss Sumeragi, my name is Yamato Kuzunagi, we wish to speak with your organisation. We have something very important to discuss, the future of the entire world and Celestial Being's place in it!" Yamato explained as he floated onto the bridge. "While I understand that Celestial Beings intention is to end war, I fear that in the midst of this conflict your interventions may cost more lives than even this current war, please Miss Sumeragi I will come alone onto your ships if I must, if you have mobile suits you can have them watch my friends."
Sumeragi looked at his man, a man whose eyes were blood red with tears. Perhaps he was someone who could sympathise with their goal.
"We are sending you coordinates, maybe then you can tell us why you stopped us from releasing the announcement of Celestial Beings intentions!" Sumeragi said.
"All will be explained, thank you for giving me this chance."
Far away from the meeting, a man smiled as he lifted a glass of wine to his lips. He sat in his office, watching the events of the world unfold. His suit was finely cut and pressed, indicating his upper class upbringing. The man's assistant stood to the side, looking with mild interest. Allejandro Corner watched the world with great interest.
"It seems someone wishes to interfere with Aeolia Schenbergs plan," Allejandro said.
"Patrick Zala, Muruta Azrael or perhaps Uragiri? Or do you have some involvement with it?" His assistant asked.
"No Ribbons, I am merely an observer, this war and Celestial Being, I wonder if they can truly change the world or if their mission is doomed to fail. Either way, I do believe that the events to come will have significance, even if the world doesn't know of their existence." Allejandro laughed while Ribbons Almark hid a smirk.
Another observer of the conflict smiled to herself. It wasn't just Celestial Beings actions, but the actions of one Gekido Jaeger. The young Chinese girl looked at the reports her servant had given her. Pictures had been taken of the Gundam Purpose and its numerous battles.
"A Gundam that fights to change the world from within the military and multiple Gundams that seek to change the world on their own. Either way the world will change." Wang Lieu May said as she gave the pictures back to her servant.
She looked out at her estate, a place clear from conflict. But elsewhere battles were still being fought and even without battle, the sense of war was still there in the soldier's hearts. She had no idea how the Celestial Being announcement broadcast had been intercepted, but she knew that the Intel she had given Yamato Kuzunagi wouldn't go to waste. Celestial Being had its goals and so with Wang.
A magnificent white and red ship hovered over the water. Crewmembers were enjoying their temporary respite, but acknowledged the fact that at any moment ZAFT may pursue them. They worked for the Earth Alliance, but many of the volunteers had been on Heliopolis before it was broken apart by ZAFT. The teenagers, Sai, Miriallia, Kuzzey and Tolle enjoyed the sun on the deck outside. Murdock and his crew of engineers worked on the Archangel's collection of mobile weapons. Mechanics crowded around the Strike, while the thicker armoured Gundam Purpose was left alone. A brown haired boy worked at his computer, resisting the advances of a red haired girl, someone who had become his lover in the past week or so.
"Kira, the Captain wants to see us," A gruff voice said at the door.
Kira got off his chair, saying he'd see Flay later. A grey haired boy stood waiting, unlike Kira he didn't war the Alliance blue jacket. Instead he carried it over his shoulder, showing off his arms.
"Why does Miss Murrue want to see us Gekido?" Kira asked.
"Something that's being classified at Alliance high command," Gekido Jaeger said.
The two boys stepped into Murrue Ramias's office. Mu La Flaga stood over the desk, waiting in full dress uniform. They were speaking with a man in a general's uniform.
"Gekido Jaeger I presume?" The General asked.
"You'd be right General Revil, Gekido put your jacket on," Murrue ordered.
"Its no problem Ramias as far as I'm concerned this meeting isn't happening. But the message is still clear, watch this" Revil said before the screen split, showing another video.
A balding man sat at a chair, his surroundings seemed like the interior of a mansion. He had a monocle over his eye and looked directly at the camera as if he was looking at the viewers. Kira knew this man from a paper he had read, Aeolia Schenberg, the physicist and engineer. But he had been dead for decades now.
"I would like to address this statement to every single human being born and raised on Earth. We call ourselves simply Celestial Being. We are a private armed organisation in possession of the mobile weapon Gundam. The main objective of Celestial Being's activities is to completely eliminate acts of war from this world. We do not act for our own benefit or for personal gain. We have chosen to intervene for the greatest goal of all to rid ourselves of the scourge of war. As of this moment I make this declaration to all humanity. Territory, religion, energy no matter what the reason or excuse if there is an evident act of war being carried out, we will commence intervention with our force. Any country, organisation or corporation that promotes war will also be a legitimate target for our intervention. We simply call ourselves Celestial Being. We are an armed organisation that was established to eliminate all acts of war from this world."
The four were left stunned by this revelation, particularly Kira and Gekido. As far as they had known their Gundams had been the first. But for a man like Aeolia Schenberg to use a term like Gundam shattered their opinions of their machines. However Gekido looked at the pictures Revil showed them of the Kyrios and the Exia. Yes they were Gundams, but so was the Purpose. It was called a Gundam so it had to be a real Gundam right?
"Eliminate acts of war from this world, they sound like a terrorist organisation," Mu said.
"No…a terrorist organisation would say "we're fighting for the freedom of our people" right before blowing up people that have nothing to do with their suffering, these guys are organised." Gekido explained.
"True, they must have resources, I mean they've built G-Weapons in secret," Murrue said.
"Or maybe someone at the top hasn't been looking."
"An interesting theory Jaeger but cynicism will get us no where," Revil chimed in.
"General sir, why have you shown us this?" Kira asked.
"Well son the truth is I don't trust anyone else to have this info. The Admirals are taking advantage of whatever cock up Celestial Being had with this broadcast to keep the world knowing about its existence. So in turn any soldiers who encounter them are to keep quiet, that includes your crew. You don't write down the details in your reports, you don't acknowledge them in radio transmissions. If you encounter them, the event never happened, is that clear?" Revil asked.
"Yes sir, we appreciate the heads up, good luck on your side sir." Murrue saluted the general before cutting the line.
Gekido sighed before leaving the office. No dismiss from Murrue was necessary, after all the meeting never happened. Kira watched Gekido leave, he didn't consider himself a psychologist but even he could read body language well. This revelation really bothered Gekido. Kira didn't mind so much, the Strike was still a powerful mobile suit, even if Celestial Being didn't acknowledge it as a Gundam.
Setsuna didn't believe in God, he had lost that faith. But he still believed in one divine power, the power of the Gundams. That was a power that could bring an end to war through force. He and Lockon both sat inside the cockpits of their Gundams, awaiting orders from the Ptolemaios. When the call came through, they both put on their helmets and prepared to launch.
"Next target found, next target found!" The Haro chirped.
"Yep, new orders Setsuna, looks like we're going to fight a Gundam," Lockon said.
"Make no mistake Lockon Stratos that machine is not a Gundam, no matter what it looks like it isn't a part of the plan and its mere existence is but evidence of Orb's hypocrisy." Tieria explained over the long distance radio.
"Still, I've heard some rumours about the pilot," Allelujah said.
Setsuna raised his head as he looked at the target.
"Its not Gundam!" He said.
Celestial Beings next intervention, the Purpose and its pilot Gekido Jaeger!
Next Chapter 2: Celestial Being
So there we are, the first part of a story that might get bigger depending on the ideas I get. Things will get better, with more characters from both series appearing, The Astray cast, Athrun and Cagalli, Sergie Smirnov and Soma Pieres will get involved, Ali Al Sachez will definately get involved (and fans who didnt spot the reference to him shame on you :).
Graham Aker might be involved, but his role will be lessoned, my OC Akushi may appear, in fact what did you guys think of an extended fight between Akushi and the Trinity siblings?
Also I might expand the role of Commander Hawke, honestly true story this, it was a name I just come out with because I intended on Hawke to be a grunt character but then I suddenly realised "He's got the same name as Lunamaria and Meyrin". So what do you guys think of introducing Meyrin and Luna's relative as a Zala loyalist?
Now for my loyal readers who have given me OC's, if you'd like I can involve your OC's, send me an idea (and a review) if you'd like them to be involved. Also to both loyal followers and new comers, if you have an OC Meister or Meister-Hunter send me the profile and I might consider bringing him/her in. But the Gundam cant be overpowering, it can only be as powerful as the other CB units. Thanks again for reading and please send me a review, convince me to update again :)
